Hi ya,
If its just going to be dedicated mame machine why not use linux?
I am 2.2 Athlon XP 1G memory and all is cool
512Mb ram should be ok
Windows (3.11 code is where the problem is but it affects 95 98 me etc.)
will do horrible things like refuse to boot (especially if you have agp
graphics) and > 512Mb ram
To get over the problem you need to edit a system file and I can't
remember which
You need to limit virtual memory buffers (or similar) to 512M The
details are on microcraps web site

I'm trying to run Advmame in pure DOS mode using the SB Live DOS
drivers (SBEINIT.com, SBESET.exe, etc.). They load up fine, but
when I load up either Advmenu or Advmame, the first sound
generated starts, then suddenly stops and loops the same sound
repeated, locking up my PC and forcing a reboot.
I've tried using SBESET to specify different IRQ's, Port
addresses, DMA's, etc., but it makes no difference. I've gotten
several other SB cards to work in dos before, like the PCI64 and
PCI128, but this is the first time I've tried getting an SB Live
Value to work...
I've got "device_sound auto" set in the advmenu.rc and
advmame.rc, so I'll try different values tonight to see if that
helps.
Any tips would be appreciated!
Rod.

Hi,
first of all congratulations on your nice work!
I am trying to burn advancecd on a cdcard (30Mb), but when I try to add
the second session (to add a few more roms) I can't do it becase it
requires additional 16mb to add a new session, so my cdcard has not
enough space (16Mb advancecd + 16Mb session > 30Mb).
Is there a way to obtain the boot image only, so I can write my cd card
in one session, adding the boot image?
Thanks
Lorty

Hello to my fellow Aussies,
If you have tried to but the
JATON 3DFORCE 32Mb AGP card (see link) here in Australia you will know
it is not too easy to find. Add to that the fact that most US sellers
will not sell overseas and we are at a distinct disadvantage. HOWEVER :
for anyone who is interested I will pass on the details of a firm here
in Sydney who can get stock very quickly. I am not selling these, just
passing on the info. Price is $70Au, you sort it out with the dealer.
Located in (Western Sydney) Wetherill Park.
David.

Hi everyone,
I will be upgrading soon, and was wondering whether
there is a difference between full P4 and Celeron for AdvMAME purposes.
The machine will be a dedicated MAME machine, no other uses. Looking at
around 2Ghz using AdvMAME from a Win98 install of DOS.
Also, is there any benefit in 512Mb of RAM, rather that 256MB? I have
been told that Win98 will not handle 512, and it will cause problems.
Thanks,
David.

Hi everyone,
I am working on the following setup...
15-24Khz arcade monitor (manual switch between modes)
P3-600 256mb ram (soon to be upgraded to P4)
AdvMAME and AdvMENU
Jaton 3dforce video card as per link below (pick it up tomorrow)
http://easymamecab.mameworld.net/html/bladet64.htm
Dos from Win98
My questions are:
1) I want to leave the machine in one video mode. Should I setup for
24Khz or will 15Khz be OK for everything?
2) If I setup for 24Khz mode, will all of the 15Khz games look OK or
will they look inauthentic?
3) What are the benefits/drawbacks of each mode (15/24) for this setup.
4) I know my Hclock Vclock an Pclock for this monitor in 15Khz mode, do
they change for 24Khz?
Thanks for helping,
David.

Hi there,
I am a newbie, trying to build a mame machine into an x-men 6 player arcade
cab. I am using a P3 500 computer which I have upgraded to Windows XP
Professional, and am running on mame32. In order to run the computer on the
arcade monitors, advancemame looks like the best option. I have downloaded
it, and extracted the file, but can't go anywhere from there. Are there
instructions anywhere on how to integrate it into the computer? I'm using
an nvidia GeForce card. Thanks for your help.
